In this study, we investigated the change in hardness of EVA material by heat-molding MGs. Methods : Five different EVA sheets were heat-molded on the model to produce MGs. The anterior and molar regions of MGs were cut out for sampling materials. A micro durometer (MD-1, Kobunshi Keiki Co Ltd, Kyoto, Japan) was used to measure the material hardness. Results : In most samples, their hardness rose after heat-molding, and the hardness level was higher in anterior regions than in molar regions. Conclusion : The hardness of EVA used in MG materials tended to increase after heat-molding., 10.15090/00013766}, pages = {2022-02--2022-02}, title = {Changes in Hardness of Mouthguard Materials After Heating and Pressure Molding}, volume = {2022-02}, year = {}, yomi = {WATANABE, RYO} }
